Scope note
Refers to large sheets of heavy linen or another fabric on which a design has been painted. They were originally used for tapestry cartoons in sixteenth-century France, and then hung as though they were tapestries. A large collection survives at Reims. The term also refers to eighteenth-century French cloth that is inspired by these painted designs, but created by printing with copperplate engravings. It may also refer to any fabric done in the style of 18th-century copperplate designs.
